Pircher, Nichols & Meeks LLP

Our construction practice group provides clients with the full range of legal services for their construction projects, from planning to contract negotiation to dispute resolution. Our attorneys have extensive experience representing owners, investors, developers, contractors, design professionals, construction managers, governmental authorities, insurance carriers and homeowners associations with respect to their most important and complex transactional and litigation matters, for projects throughout the United States.

Transactional Expertise

Our construction attorneys are experienced at negotiating design and construction agreements for all types of projects, from tenant build-outs to major multi-phase developments, and in advising clients with respect to the many issues and complications associated with such projects. We can use standard industry form agreements when appropriate, such as those published by the American Institute of Architects, but we also have our own library of forms to draw from. Representative projects include:
